Description
- Storing reagents at a consistent temperature in the range if 36 to 85 F (2 to 29 C), extreme temperature fluctuation, say from a refrigerator to a hot car trunk, causes reagents to deteriorate
- Keeping them out of prolonged direct sunlight
- Segregating reagents from containers of treatment chemicals
- Replacing caps immediately and tightening them carefully so that exposure to air and humidity is limited
- Avoiding switching bottle caps, placing bottle caps on soiled surfaces, repouring reagents into contaminated containers, or touching test strip pads
Taylor formulates its reagents to remain effective for at least one year, with only very few exceptions (molybdenum indicator in liquid form is one, after four months old it should be tested against a standard periodically) . As a general precaution, replace all reagents more than one year old, or at the beginning of a new testing season.
